No idea what "triple mint" means. Does it work?

That is, I'm asking: Do the film advance, shutter, meter and aperture contols work well enough to produce reasonably exposed photos without any significant light leaks?
yes triple mint means it all works just fine as in great!! battery compartment is clean also

I have one already. Probably the most user friendly camera ever made. Averaging meter nails 99% of every shot. These will take alkaline batteries AOK.

Totally manual like a Leica, no batteries required to take a picture!!

I'm very confused. The camera in the pictures is not 'mint.' It is dented, scratched and has various tape residue. Usually graded EX+ assuming the shutter and meter have been tested.

Did you upload the wrong pictures?

The word "mint," as an adjective, was originally used by coin collectors to describe a coin that is in the same condition as it was when minted. In other words, the same condition as new.

With a coin, what you see is what you get -- there is only cosmetic condition. I have seen some eBay sellers describe a camera as "mint" based only on its cosmetic condition, but the description indicates the camera is non-functional. Definitely not in new condition. I know a lot sellers use "mint" to describe their cameras, but really, I think the word is too ambiguous for our purposes, unless the camera really is in the same condition as it was when it left the factory.
